What forged this friendly setup was a 19th century custody battle over the infant University of Toronto, which both secular and religious educators wanted to run. As a compromise, the Ontario legislature put in a nonsectarian administration to control degrees and the teaching of "university" subjects, mostly science. Sectarian colleges were then invited to join and teach "college" subjects, mostly humanities. St. Michael's in 1887 became the first to join...
...flinty, greedy. God-bedeviled, lust-maddened Cabot clan and its internecine struggle over the family farm. To possess it. the sons wish their father dead, brother plots against brother, a young woman marries a fanatical old man, seduces his son to obtain an heir, and murders the infant to repossess the son's love. George C. Scott plays the fire-breathing old father Ephraim with monomaniacal force. As the woman, Colleen Dewhurst achieves a masterly transitional shading between feline will and wiles and the whole-souled vulnerability of love. Son Eben is played by Rip Torn, who unfortunately adopts...
...temporal (inside the temple), parietal (under the crown), and occipital (at the back of the head). Animals do not speak, write, or think abstractly, and presumably both halves of their brains are equally active. At birth, the human brain is little different from an animal's. A newborn infant who has suffered severe damage to the left side of the brain may have almost half of his brain removed and grow up intellectually normal: the right hemisphere learns to do most of the things that a whole brain...
They examined the map of the floor plan of a suburban Los Angeles supermarket that they had cased earlier. Each member was assigned to a particular spot: two men at the meat counter, one at canned soups, a woman with an infant at the baby-food section. Then they synchronized their watches and headed for the store, took their positions, and waited impatiently for H-hour. At last it came: sweeping through their assigned sectors, the 40 people began sticking small cards in the merchandise-on top of a ham, beneath cans of dog food, behind jars of borsch. They...
Mosaic, the publication of the Harvard-Radcliffe Hillel Societies, has with its most recent issue reached its second-and-a-half birthday, which certainly means, reckoning by the ferocious rate of infant magazine mortality hereabouts, that it has attained its majority. True, Mosaic enjoys considerable financial support that other local little ones have never been able to find, but where oh where has it been able to find such an abundance of excellent copy? Coming of age has not withered Mosaic; and speaking as the past editor of another small Cambridge magazine, I can only marvel at its infinite variety...
